As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of anime and manga over the past few decades, I can confidently say that Netflix’s One Piece adaptation is a breath of fresh air. Having witnessed the disappointing adaptations of other beloved series like Dragon Ball, Bleach, and Fullmetal Alchemist, I was initially skeptical about this venture. But, to my delight, Netflix managed to create a live-action series that not only stayed true to the spirit of the original but also impressed with its casting, special effects, and faithful adaptation of details from the manga.
In 2023, Netflix debuted the live-action series One Piece, shattering numerous records to become the most acclaimed live-action series ever. This show was also the most-watched program on Netflix that year. The series is an adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s globally renowned manga, One Piece. Luffy’s journey will continue in OPLA‘s second season, slated for release at the end of 2025. As fans eagerly anticipate a new season, the official account of One Piece announced that it has been nominated for an impressive 11 categories in the Children and Family Emmy Awards. This event is a branch of the Emmy Awards, television’s most esteemed honor, dedicated exclusively to children’s and family programming. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awards the winners.
The series has earned acclaim from both audiences and critics, receiving multiple awards and nominations as a result. At the 76th Writers Guild of America Awards, it triumphed in the Television: Children’s Episodic, Long Form, and Specials category. Furthermore, it secured wins for Best Design and Best in Class for Tweens/Teen Programming at the Kidscreen Awards, as well as additional recognition in those categories.
The live-action drama “One Piece” has been nominated for the third Children & Family Emmy Awards* in the category of Outstanding Young Teen Series / Exceptional Youth Teen Series, which is one of the 11 categories it was nominated for.

Why is Netflix’s One Piece So Well-Received?
It’s not often that live-action versions of Japanese manga create such a worldwide stir. More often than not, they fall short of impressing fans, even in established franchises like Dragon Ball, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, and others. In fact, for over two decades, Eiichiro Oda was reluctant to approve a One Piece live-action adaptation due to past disappointments. But, luck has finally turned in our favor as Netflix secured the rights, with Eiichiro Oda taking on the role of Executive Director.
The author’s meticulous work kept the TV adaptation true to the original manga, despite alterations in some scenes. The essence of the story remains consistent. Moreover, the casting choices and special effects have garnered appreciation. With an estimated $18 million spent on each episode, there was much at stake. Fortunately, it received favorable reviews from both fans and critics. Just two weeks after its premiere, Eiichiro Oda announced a second season.
